Doing a series of shows at venues anywhere from an hour to 4 hours apart. Traveling with equipment for 4 totally different presentations including my own mic. Gone all summer. It is more cost effective to drive as opposed to fly, ship equipment and clothes and rent a car. Will put 7,000+ miles...

Thanks guys. Just logged 16 hours of driving. First show is friday night. (After another 12 hour drive.). Forgot to add if anyone needs anything, I can most readily be reached through brad at bradhenderson dot com. Will pop in when I can.

Don't get too excited, Draven ;) Off for another whirlwind tour into the wilds of . . . well, I'll be doing a lot of travel though the North East, not sure how wild that is. Will pop in whenever time and cell phone service allows. Have a great summer and hope to see some of you at the...

Bill os a good friend. We are bringing him to austin in september for a show. The camps only hire college age counselors. However, they do have a cit/jr counselor program where you would teach as well as participate in the camp experience. Tell Bill I said hi. And if you can, follow him...

Whenever multiple magicians inhabit the same space (high school, college, summer camp) there are often conflicts. In the best of situations, you each find a measure of respect for your individual strengths and simply choose to hide the contempt you might harbor toward their weaknesses. And...

As a very smart friend of mine observed - cards are the toilet paper of magic. Everybody uses it. And once used, it must be replaced. Ellusionist's genuis was in convincing people to spend $9 on the equivalent of a roll of toilet paper. Off to buy a gross of bikes from sam's club. Hope...

Untrue. All art requires a participant (to use langer's term) as well as an artist. They can be the same person, but usually there are more participants than the sole artists. The artists job is to convey an intended feelingful response through the manipulation of symbolic structures...

Not sure if this is a malaproprism or intentional. Either way, its very funny.

Tommy Wonder had an excellent essay in his books of wonder on the circular nature magicians take when it comes to their tools and use there of. So very true. Read Books of Wonder. If they don't inspire you, I'm not sure anything will.

Mad angry. No. Mad crazy. Close. ;)

It is a balance you can learn to maintain. I have seen great magicians like Tamariz and Weber devastate lay and magic audiences with the exact same material. Construct your methods to deceive the smartest person in the room but make sure your presentations are clear enough so even the most...

I'm just playing, b . . . your mom didn't wear any (The people who liked Criss thought having a fake out like that was totally bad azz. Failed Vegas show, here I come!!!!)

The only panties around here are the one's your mom left last night. Oh snap. (That was me being youthfully hip - I did a focus group. The people who liked Criss Angel said I should write that. They thought it was edgy, extreme and topical! Just giving the people what they want - that's...

Did you do anything wrong?

How much? (I have about 500 here I will never use)

I didn't say you should take him seriously - only that I am partial to it ;)

I'm partial to The Satanic Book Test. http://murphysmagic.com/Product.aspx?id=39199

Steer, Because your post focused the issue on you and your choices, and what we are dealing with is an overall public position. But I haven't answered the question, I don't think. I think I know part of the issue, but am not sure that is everything. Not willing to accept the first...

Whydo you think that is? Do you think it is true for laymen as well? What would you find exciting? What magic have you seen that you did find truly exciting? And do you think laypeople would find these same things equally exciting? Steer, as I have written repeatedly, it is a fallacy to move...

Kittens who don't spell or use grammatically correct sentence structure, at that. Why don't they ever take photos of the smart kitties?!? Dear Craven , you can't take credit for the imminent derailing of a thread when you yourself derail it.
